BouLAnaER.s YOUTH.
The Early Life of tho Much-Talked-O
French Minister OF War.

The Early Life of tho Much-Talked-o
French Minister OF War.
General Boulanger's mother was al
English woman, who. when she married
M. Boulanger (the Generals father)
was a beautiful girl scarcely out of hen
teens. At that period nj. Boulangei
was an du0se, that is to say solicitor
at Renncs. But shortly after his mar
rage he decided to sell his practice and
migrated to Nantes, where he became
an inspector in the service of the Com
pagnie d'Assurances la Bretagne. 1t
was at Nantes the present War Minis
ter of France was born, and those who
remember the mother speak OF the
striking resemblance which her distin-
guished son bears to her as she then
was. Without being actually poor the
Bou!angers were certainly far from
rich. There was in the Family, to use
an expressive French phrase. ''more
bread than butter" and so, when young
Boulanger was sent to Saint Cyr, his
parents could only give him very
little pockct-money. Even when he
left Saint Cyr earlier than usual.
thanks to the need of officers
to fill up gaps caused by the Crimean
war. he had no margin for extreva-
gance, and he mas since langhingly
admitted that many time when in
viied out TO dine or dance he was
obliged to make his dejcuner off .'un
chausson de pommes' in order to pay
for the kid gloves (fresh-butter color)
which he wore Mt the evening festivities,
He made his military debut in the ItSl-
ian campaign of 1889. and was both
wounded and decorated. SO severely
was he wounded. in fact. that he was
made q professor at Saint Cyr. and,
though severe as a master, the Sunday
evening receptions he and his wife gave
ut their little house near the railway
station are still pleasantly remembered
by many Of the cadets of those days.
His .'oung wife. who had. of course,
gained her knowledge from his English
mother, was quite an adept in brewing
tea and '.grogs" a rAngiaise, while her
two little daughters. Yvonne and Mimi,
were favorites among the guests. In
1870 General Bonlanger. who had re-
joined the active army, was in garrison
nj Nantes. but was fortunate enough to
reach Paris with his regiment just be-
fore its gates were finally closed. After
be war he went to Tunis. and his
recent career Is too well known TO need
repetition He is firm friend of En-
gland. The day may come when his
father's English marriage may APP
affect the course Of current |
events. London Figaro.

Chicks for Early Market.

In raising chicks for early market it
is very desirable to have some breed
that grows very fast during the earliest
period of life, and experience soon
shows that there is a great deal of diff
ference between the breeds in this re
gard.
Some grow very fast and feather out
in less than month, which of course
is protection to them and materially
assists in rapid grow tn at this time. If
it is the object of the poultry breeder
to sell broilers for early market he
should use some variety of this kind
that will grow fast while young so as
to be desirable for table use at an early
age.
Good crosses are perhaps better than
the pure stock when raised for market
purposes alone; as they seem to grow
faster and generally make larger birds,
which point of course is always desir-
able to obtain. The breeder should,
however, be very careful to dispose of
all the half-breed stock at market time,
for if they are kept and allowed to grow
w oii viz paw OhClC 10 IL COHSlucIdDlo
liability OF their becoming mixed with
the pure stock, as oftentimes it is hard
to distinguish in looks, but the foreign
blood will most surely show itself
sooner or later, and generally when it
is least expected by the breeder.
To one who has not given the mat
ter much attention 1T would be sur
prising to note the difference in the
growth of the different breeds during
the earlier part of their life. For in
stance, such fowls as the Houdans or
any of the laying breeds, will grow
very fast for the first month or two
and generally mature earlier than the
larger breeds do, while on the other
hand, the larger breeds of the Asiatic
classes are very slow in their growth
for the first month at least, but after
that time they seem to take Jump
and they continue to grow remarkably
last until they are fully matured
These large breeds are undoubtedly the
best Tor market purposes when they are
Kept all the season and sold during the
fall and winter, but my experience has
been that they are not the most profit
able to raise for the earliest markets.
A cross between the two breeds will
be much better for early market and
will partake some of the nature both.

AGRICULTURAL.
Devoted to the Interests Of Farmers
and Stockmen.
pooa and Care or Brood Mares.

Food and care OF nro""
majority of colts are raised from
mares that work more or less regu-
Iarlv on farms, and while this is trying
on the mares, it is remarkable Low
well they do if given proper food ana
care. Continuous hard work, such
that a strong gelding can barely en-
dure, should never be required oil mares
kept for breeding. Before f1al-
ing. the mare should not be driven at
more than very moderate gait, nel-
Their should she be heavily loaded, es-
pecially when the footing is poor. A
week or so of rest should always be al.
lowed after foaling, and she should not
be allowed to become very tired or
warm, A common mistake among
farmers consists in keeping their
horses through the spring on corn and
hay alone. For the brood mare this
ration is particularly poor, as she must
furnish material to grow muscles,
bones and nerves in the colt. Corn
not only lacks much of the growth
making material, but its one-sidedness
has in it an element of injury. 1t is
rather heating than cooling. No one
food comes SO nearly answering
the requirements Of grain food as do
oats. Together with a good allowance
OF nice hay, oats supply the wants OF
the system.
Mixing food, or more especially COM
pounding rations, should receive more
attention. Very often the farmer has
no oats for any of his horses, and a sub
stitute is very desirable. He has plenty
of corn, but oats cannot be purchased
without paying out money for them.
In this case bran and oil-meal can be
mixed with corn SO as to make a good
ration. The corn furnishes cheap fai
and heat-producers, while the bran and
oil-meal furnish the nitrates of growth
producers. Bran and corn in equal
parts by weight furnish about the same
proportion of nitrates and fat-formers
as oats, end little less in weight o.
this combined ration is required for 9
feed. Six parts corn, three parts bran
and one part ground oil-cake, also fur
nishes nearly the same proportion Of
the food results if care is taken to no,
increase the oil cake beyond the dan
ger line. For general use this last mix
ture is not SO good substitute fol
oats as the former. Very little oil cake
should enter the ration OF the mar,
before foaling.
Green foods are adapted to keeping
both dam and colt in good condition
Whenever practicable they should b.
allowed to run in the pasture together
Green fodder should be fed in the barr
if the mare is not frequently out in TIL
pasture. If the mare is poor mike
the proportion Of bran should be in
creased. Where great many chore
make the time in the field each ha'
day rather short, it is usually best t
keep the colt in the barn or adjoinin
lot while the mare is in the field. Blu
where the mare is absent full half day
: she is irritated by the large quantit
! of milk in the udder, and the colt
!. compelled to take all this milk whe
= the mare is heated. Ii both mares i
the team have colts they usually pla
b together. and are not much, if any
bother in the field.

STATE VETERANS HOME.

The State Board Of Charities and Re-
form is authorized to select location for
a State Veterans home Our citizens
should make some effort in the direction
of trying to secure the location of the
Home in this city. Inducements can be
offered here that the Board might enter
tain. Among the places available is the
J. A. Hall farm, which would be in many
respects very desirable location. The
house is a strong, well built brick struct-
ure and would no doubt be sufficiently
large for the present wants of the home.
The site is high and commanding, with
the best of water available. The farm
comprises forty acres of good land.
Should the Board look upon the PROPOSE
ton with favor there ought to be no trou-
BILE to raise the amount necessary to pur-
chase the place as bonus to the state
for the location of the home here. Will
the Board please look us over and see
what can be done in relation to this mat
ter. Sheboygan makes an offer of the
city poor farm of eighty acres, and Bara-
boo offers the same number of acres.
